The National Committee on American Foreign Policy and The Korea Society welcome senior Korean, Japanese, and American policy observers, who will discuss post-Cheonan atmospherics, a more assertive China, and the state of alliances in the North Pacific. Registration for this event is only by invitation of the National Committee on American Foreign Policy.

This first in a series of four executive breakfasts explores Korea’s unique role as a bridge between developing and developed nations. Subsequent sessions will address areas where the Korean model has attracted regional and global interest and implications for Korea’s eventual unification.

In the wake of the Cheonan sinking and heightened international concern, Korea’s political and military establishment have exercised tremendous restraint and weighed various and difficult options. Join The Korea Society in welcoming Korean Vice Minister of Defense Chang Soo-Man as he assesses the post-Cheonan security situation on the Peninsula. He will analyze and evaluate nuclear and other security concerns on the Korean Peninsula, explore the “common management” strategy between the United States and Korea, and weigh prospects for new developments in the security situation. His talk marks the 60th anniversary of the start of the Korean War and celebrates the enduring ROK-U.S. alliance.
